Per Autodesk web site:

One of the most sought-after online visual effects systems in postproduction today, Autodesk® Flame® visual effects software gives artists the interactivity and flexibility they need to create at the speed of thought. Flame offers Academy Award®-winning tools and superior performance at any resolution up to 4K and an industry-renowned creative toolset for 3D compositing, advanced graphics, movie editing, and client-driven interaction.

Modular Keyer enables customizable pipeline for advanced keying capability and control over the final result. Algorithms, such as RGB, YUV, RGBCMYL, HLS, and Channel are available in the Modular Keyer, which also supports 16-bit floating-point processing.

GMasks assist to quickly remove or extract elements from live footage with advanced three-spline vector technology. Customize softness at each point on the spline. Motion blur may be applied selectively to multiple shapes.

Import free-form GMask geometries into Action and extrude them to help create 3D objects to more effectively create the illusion of depth and design graphical looks.

Animate GMask geometries imported into Action.

Tracer—the accurate edge-keying tool. Based on GMasks, it is ideal for keying hair, fur, and other finely detailed object boundaries that aren't necessarily shot on green or blue screen.

Paint node integrated in Batch for easy painting or touch-up of any element in a complex scene. Paint, blur, reveal, or clone layers or mattes, and feed the result to any downstream node while viewing in context. Change source clips without having to repaint strokes.

Scripting with the power of UNIX® operating system. Scripts can be used to automate tasks ranging from email notification of render completion to generating Apple® QuickTime® application program previews.

Batch Log and Queue Management handle workflow by setting up and prioritizing multiple-render jobs at once and monitoring progress on a web browser.

Unified channel editor allows animation curves for different effects to be displayed and modified simultaneously in Batch.

Digital notepads can be used to annotate nodes and provide reminders and instructions for further work.

Enter Batch to apply effects to a single timeline segment before SoftFX® filters are applied (presegment), or to the result of a vertical compositing/soft effects (postsegment).

Batch paint is designed for a procedural compositing environment and has settings to define how paint strokes are applied to the image sequence, the ability to slip the reveal frame offset, as well as the ability to adjust the scale of paint strokes.

Create a 2- or 4-color gradient clip to help blend the foreground and background elements.*

Substance generator tools enable you to create unique textures, patterns, and effects that can be animated and customized.*

Supports standard file systems. Multiple Autodesk systems can connect to and share the same storage, such as a SAN or NAS, resulting in significantly faster media access and reduced media duplication (Linux® operating system only).

Monitor Calibration and Film Tools

3D color lookup tables work with your calibrated display to accurately display a clip as it will appear on its final medium. Maintains consistency and precision between different products including Autodesk Lustre color grading software.

Choose to temporarily view a clip with a 3D LUT or apply the 3D LUT process, enabling real-time clip playback.

Provides tools to match images displayed digitally on a computer monitor to the look of projected film.

Import standard color LUTs or create your own with the help of the intuitive tools provided.

Grain management tools accurately match the grain of different film stocks and enable homogenous grain across disparate elements used in the composite (CGI and scans from different film types, for example).
